"You had reserved a table for us."
"Uhh… I see red flags all over that. I don't see that ending well…" Eleanor remarked. "Please tell me it's not what I think."
"At first, I asked you to drop me off at my apartment, but… the hotel was actually on the way to the apartment. She said She could drop me off once we have finished eating."
"I could have rejected her offer but… I don't know why I didn't. Maybe I was expecting something…"
"It's simple. You were depressed and at the lowest point of your life. You needed someone to hug, a shoulder to cry on. I don't blame you. You had no one to talk to, and that wasn't something you could talk about with your university friends.
But I do think you should have consulted Rebecca or Eric. I know you didn't want to feel like a burden to them, but they are your friends and family. That's what they are for," Eleanor uttered calmly.
